Caterham SV Nose Cone Scan
Well this one was a long time coming. I’d been wanting to scan my nose cone for ages. Mainly with the intention of modeling and printing a “bracket” for the number plate – which flaps around a bit on its velcro mount. But the first thing to do was get a scan. I tried a…

Putting the EV in sEVen – Progress #2 Strip Down and Weigh-in

Caterham 420R Front Right Scan

Simple Engine Cooling Explained
Finally after nearly 5 years of work (on and off) I’ve published my Caterham Duratec Cooling video to YouTube. This video was the result of some pretty off the cuff comments made when I was first building my Caterham kit car. I posted about how the cooling worked on my car (after I’d done a…
